I bought this set, and gave it to my nephew for Christmas. He found it had too many of one chess piece and too few of another. I exchanged the set for a new set, the last set in the store, only to find the same situation with different pieces! [...]

Comments about Cardinal Industries 1001668 Pavilion Chess & Checkers Board Game Set in a Tin:

I NEEDED GAMES AND OTHER ITEMS THAT I COULD TAKE TO A HOSPITAL WHILE VISITING MY GRANDSON. I LOOKED FOR THE PARTICULAR ITEM ON-LINE, FOUND IT AT TOYS-R-US, AND PUTCHASED IT FOR A REASONABLE PRICE. EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED.

Comments about Cardinal Industries 1001668 Pavilion Chess & Checkers Board Game Set in a Tin:

For the price, this is a beautiful chess & checkers set. The pieces and board are made of real wood (at least they appear to be). BUT...

We really bought it for the checkers more than the chess and I found the checkers are not inter-locking. The result of this is, when playing on a flat surface, the kinged pieces tend to slide off of each other. Playing on a slight angle, like on the couch, forget about it - none of the kings stay together. It's very frustrating.

If you're looking for a nice looking, cheap chess set, this is a good one. But for checkers, you'd be better off with the cheapo plastic ones.

Comments about Cardinal Industries 1001668 Pavilion Chess & Checkers Board Game Set in a Tin:

I really like this chess set. The pieces are made of polished wood and so is the board. It is just the right size to be portable without being too small to use. I bought two sets in case extra queens are needed or if I ever lose a piece, at this price I figured why not? Both sets fit well inside of one tin. My only complaint is that the rooks are too short and can be mistaken for pawns, but I painted the tops to make them easier to distinguish. And you get checkers too, also made of wood. Most wood sets start at 30 to 40 dollars, but this set is plenty good if you are looking for a good portable sized set.

Comments about Cardinal Industries 1001668 Pavilion Chess & Checkers Board Game Set in a Tin:

This game set is of really nice quality. Love the game board and how sturdy it is. The only thing I don't like is when you "crown" the checker pieces, there are no grooves for them to fit securely on top. So, the stacked pieces move around on top of each other. Otherwise, a nice set for the money you pay.
